Have you checked the weather? There’s a storm brewing, and with it comes one of the world’s most terrifying catastrophes: a Sharknado.

Yup, the Syfy channel is back at it with “Sharknado: The 4th Awakens”, and fans of the popular film series are rejoicing! Since the last film, the “Sharknado” stars have been living life in peace, but unbeknownst to them, new types of Sharknadoes are about to wreak havoc on the cities we know and love.

Now, here at TiVo®, we love “Sharknado.” In fact, we love it so much we thought it would be a great idea to live Tweet the July 31st premiere. We also wanted to take our love one step further by showing you how you can throw your own “Sharknado” viewing party.

From alcohol-themed-drinks (‘cause, duh) to shark-themed garb, we’ve got your guide on how to be the “Sharknado” host or hostess with the most-est.

Sharknado Shots:

INGREDIENTS

1 (3 ounce) package Jell-O® gelatin

1 cup boiling water

1⁄2 –cup cold water

1⁄2 –cup vodka

whipped cream

DIRECTIONS

Boil cup of water.

Empty Jell-O® powder into a large mixing bowl and add the boiling water.

Continue stirring for two minutes, or until the Jell-O® is completely dissolved.

Combine 1/2-cup cold water and 1/2-cup vodka; pour into 2 oz. cups: fill 1/2 to ¾ of the way.

Take your completed sailor’s hat and fold the ends over. Then, tape the loose pieces down with double-sided tape.

Grab the second sheet of gray paper, fold it in half, and draw an outline of your favorite shark! Cut out the shark outline and boom – you have two sharks!

Making sure your two shark silhouettes match up, and then cover one shark completely with double-sided tape. Cover just the head of the second shark in double-sided tape. Tape the sharks to the top of the hat.

Take the white paper, fold it in half, and start cutting out the teeth; then, tape the teeth to the inside of the hat.

Cut out circles to make the eyes, and tape the circles to the hat. Draw in the eyes with a marker.

Use the double-sided tape on a few of the teeth, and then get crafty with red paint for blood!

Hand out one shark hat to every person at your viewing party, and you’re under attack!

Add Jell-O® mix, stir until dissolved.

Add 2 cups of ice cold water, and then refrigerate until it sets.

In a small cup, combine white frosting with red food dye.
